DEAD SNOW REVIEW
Wirkola does not seem to be very interested in creating believable characters and develop tension through the construction of history. What interests him, after a minimum wage of presentation of the situation, is to act as wildest possible by introducing zombies and staging the fight to the death between them and the guys who want to try to survive.
Bad special effects, however, is always carried out with the intent fiercely good-natured fun, just a bit of fun 'lugubrious and certainly bloody. The cult scene par excellence - exemplifies this approach - is the one where one of the protagonists hanging from a rock face along with a zombie, but instead of a rope or a shrub, it is hung on the innards "unrolled" another zombie is located on top of the cliff. The spirit of unbridled Peter Jackson joined the villainy of some trashy Troma style, Offering guests a frozen snow that gives suggestions austere, almost metaphysical. Not everything works as it should and there are moments of tiredness, but overall the film takes, fun and sometimes surprising.
Dead Snow is for lovers of splatter and entertainment dementia: a horror unleashed that starts pretending to look for the atmosphere and the silence of the forest before heading off on a tangent and never return to the basis of rationality.
